A brief description of the institution’s programs that help increase the diversity of higher education faculty:
Programs for faculty:
-The Diversity and Inclusion Recruitment and Retention Subcommittee, championed by the Interim President, is currently reviewing and prioritizing a number of initiatives to improve recruitment and retention for faculty and graduate students. These initiatives were identified based on a literature survey of best practices, a review of successful programs, and examinations of data on current faculty and graduate student demographics and retention rates. this subcommittee produced the following documents as a resource to the campus community:
-Best Practices/Strategies in Recruiting & Retaining Diverse Faculty
-Recruitment & Retention Subcommittee Report of Recommendations
Programs for graduate students:
-Leslie N. Wilson - Delores Auzenne Assistantship for Minorities - available for all new or currently enrolled minority graduate students. Nomination is through the department or college, but competition for these awards is on a university-wide basis.
-McKnight Doctoral Fellowships provide up to five years of support, with a stipend of $12,000 plus tuition waivers and other support for four years and with the fifth year support at a rate that is typical in the student's academic program. These fellowships are for newly enrolling African American and Hispanic graduate students.
-FAMU Feeder Fellowship - FSU’s Graduate School has partnered with the Graduate Feeders Scholars program at Florida A&M University to provide under-represented students the opportunity to pursue graduate degrees.
-College Teaching Fellowships - awarded annually by the University to new graduate students. While these awards are administered by The Graduate School, the Fellows are selected through competitions held by each college. To be eligible for the College Teaching Fellowship, the student must have scored at least an 1150 on the GRE; maintained at least a 3.2 GPA during the course of undergraduate studies; maintained at least a 3.5 GPA during the course of any previous graduate level studies; and have been strongly recommended by former professors.
